Then you get into the playoffs and it's far more Kelce, far more DHop, getting out of the pocket more to create the dual threat of taking off... just anything to keep the chains moving.
We all saw what happened in the Bucs SB... he ran for 10 miles behind the LoS and was still hitting guys 40 yards downfield (even if balls were going through hands and bouncing off helmets). Pressure only does so much.

This post rocks. It’s everything I’ve been thinking but haven’t been able to get out in the way you just did.
It really felt like today he decided, **** it, IDC what the circumstances suggest, I’m going to hit on some deep throws. At a minimum I’m going to at least look for them as primary reads often.
So many of these regular season games for the offense do have a practice-y feel to them.
But if they start rolling in the playoffs it’s gonna be because they just locked the **** in and started playing free.
